Publisher's Synopsis

Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Italian by Vittoria Armanini. Poetic meditations on nature, time and space, both in prose and verse, by a young Italian poet and physicist. The works, presented in Italian and English, are marked by a calm clarity and sensitivity to light and delicate structures.

A poet of original personality whose poetic work provides the interaction between visionary energy and force of thought.--Maurizio Cucchi

Your writing has the peculiar brightness, beyond the full comprehension of the text, that seems to belong to scientific prose...You have precisely that spark of light, which is yours and your unmistakable grace.--Giampiero Neri

Borghi melancholically observes, yet joyfully sees the beauty of the world, the resulting beauty of the fragmented world, made, crushed, created, formed after the division of the original thing, which we all remember, with greater or lesser nostalgia: the moods alternate both the known painful feeling of being entangled in the formal trap--and admiration and song for creation, identified in the primordial beauty of the roses, which re-evoke the original wonder.--Maria Grazia Calandrone
